Also, any intensely personal attacks will be swiftly expunged here as well. The ad hominem is exasperating.

Park, I'm not sure how I have failed to grant others the privilege of believing how they may. If my beliefs differ in any respect with others they are immediately labeled as judgmental. Unfortunately, I get the same response from our anti-Mormon friends. This is extremely troubling. If my exegesis of scripture or quotations from the brethren have been in error, then show me. B.

While you are more than entitled to your own interpretations of movies, scriptures, etc., you are failing to grant others the same privilege without implying that they are less faithful and don't follow the prophet. Your eisegesis of scriptures and JS quotes are truly troubling. It's sad to see a bright mind resort to this.

John,

My evaluation of this movie is not as unfounded as you might believe. That this movie has an intense environmentalist message at its core is evidenced from this sampling of responses:
WALL-E: A World Without Us
The Environmental Technology of Wall*E
Wall-E: Robotic Ode to Environmental Protection
The Devin’s Advocate: Is WALL-E Environmental or Hypocritical?
Wall-E & LF
WALL-E:Marxist Philosophy and Environmental Theology Writ Large “For The Children!”
The Hypocrisy of WALL-E
The Environmentalism of Wall-E
Environmentalism, Hollywood, and Wall-E
No Humans: Filmmakers Fascinated About What Comes Next
Wall-E: Environmentalism Propraganda?
The Wall-E Attitude

To name a few. The Al Gore infused environmentalist religion and chimerical apocalypse is the heart of Hollywood’s latest promotion, and some people will go even to immoral ends to worship it. Anyone wanting to jump on the bandwagon may want to keep that in mind. The prophets have always warned about the fads of popular thought. This is another one.
